Parkside PPS 30 B2

[Jackimus]

Afternoon all,

My Lidl still has a couple of plasma cutters, if I'm remembering correctly it's the PPS 30 B2, without compressor.

Am I right that this one has pilot arc?

And is £149 a good shout? If anybody is aware of if it goes on offer or not, I'm more than happy to wait for it to come around again.

Thanks!

The stock torch that came with the PPS 30 B2 was indeed a pilot arc torch.

The one in lidls at the moment is the 30A, has pilot arc and no compressor.
It was £119 when they got them in, and annoying £109 the week after I bought one with a voucher.
I felt that was pretty good value, you get a couple of spare tips included and thats about it.

I think previous models came with torch attachments for rolling over sheets, but I assume they cut all that out to offset the cost of the pilot arc torch.

I guess that's just a price increase that isn't going back then. Ah well.

I reckon I'll hang on and see if/when it goes on offer again.

If they are £149 in-store, then these eBay offers are unusually at less than the shop price:

Must be people selling them for what they paid back then?

Thanks for pointing these out.
